Ever since she was child, Jem has kept a secret: Whenever she meets someone new, no matter who, as soon as she looks into their eyes, a number pops into her head. That number is a date: the date they will die. Burdened with such awful awareness, Jem avoids relationships.

Until she meets Spider, another outsider, and takes a chance. The two plan a trip to the city. But while waiting to ride the Eye ferris wheel, Jem is terrified to see that all the other tourists in line flash the same number. Today’s number. Today’s date. Terrorists are going to attack London.

I hadn't realised this was a book aimed at teenagers when I downloaded it, but found it a surprisingly good read anyway. The one thing that let it down were all the American words used in the narrative of an English book, (sidewalk, potato chips, crackers, flash light, sneakers etc, etc). This particularly surprised me as it is set in London and the two characters are both Londoners. The more often these words were used the more it irritated me and therefore distracted from the story. Other than that, well written and well read.

Good read but let down by 'Americanisms'

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This was a really good book. Brilliant story, well read, worth buying.

About a london teenager who sees peoples death dates when she looks in their eyes. For this reason she doesnt get close to anyone, but makes friends with a boy from school, and this is their adventures getting caught up in trouble with the police and making headline news.....

The only thing that I could say was a downfall was the author must be american as americanisms were used and the narrator was using a london accent which was a bit weird. she was brilliant to listen to. some of the other characters her accents slipped a little but i'd definitley recommend this one

Brilliant Concept, well written

If you could sum up Numbers in three words, what would they be?

A 15 year old with the ability to see that date people will die when she looks someone in the eyes. Poor girl. Because of this, she's a lonely narrator with a hardened London teen attitude and a lack of emotion toward others. How can you if you knew when they'd die?This book makes social statements in addition to it being a blockbusting adventure yarn - it is both comforting and disturbing with powerful messages - good and bad, hope and despair, love and hate - with issues reinforced as various characters are introduced throughout. `Numbers' provides a penetrating insight to what is generally condemned as delinquency - it identifies problems, it raises awareness, it assists understanding

What does Sarah Coomes bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Narrator done the very good job here. highly recommended

Great characters and development of them all. This was the first book I ever read all the way through and it’s still one of my go-to’s to this day.

Brilliant all rounder

The Americanisation of a British story set in London England ruined the story as every time it used American words or dates it jarred me out of the story. The actual book is written in British English

Americanised
